Hand tool reverse scrolling option

Post by Wamma »

Can you add an option to let the hand tool reverse scroll (dragging down moves page down instead of up)? I'm use to scrolling this way and I can't get used to the default way. Also can you let us customize the hand tool's drag sensitivity? I find it a little bit too slow when dragging the pages.

No, hand tool scrolls page in 1:1 scale. A bit later we will add smooth scrolling, but for now I cannot say when it will be released.

Why not use the scroll bar?

What about reversing the scroll direction? Can that be done?

Why not use the scroll bar?
I find the hand tool to be easier to use since i can drag anywhere on the page while the scroll bar is very narrow and all the way to the right.

The hand tool is designed to pan the page slowly in any direction. If you wish to scroll the document quickly, then use the scroll bar, or the scroll-wheel, which were designed for that purpose.

The current behaviour is the same as Adobe Reader, which has set the standard due to it being so widely used.
